Big finish times four!

I've just finished putting together four string quilts.

All measure about 60 by 80,

and are made of string blocks measuring 6 by 12 inches

 gathered from local quilters.

Each quilt took 77 blocks,

which means I received more than 300, and I still have a few left.

We busted lots of scraps for these quilts.

 Thanks to all my in person (vs. blogging) quilting friends

who contributed blocks.

Thanks to Bonnie and Val for their long arming services. 

I quilted the other two.

And thanks to Em and Cheryl for donating yardage for the backs.

 

Blue/grey colourway

 



Yellow/orange, inspired by those bright orange blocks.

the pink/purple one.

We decided to keep the girly colours in one quilt.

 

Here they are hanging out together in the balcony of my church,

which was the best place to get good shots.

And some details.

 

These quilts will be donated to the emergency shelter of a local charity.

I'm about to write a tutorial on how to make these blocks.

For now, check out this post.

 

I'm linking up with Sarah and Amanda  and TGIFF.
